"It is disheartening to hear the PSCR reject the notions of the League so. The Trade League is designed to foster cooperation and economic opportunity for those who chose to join. For those who do not wish to join the Trade League, we have no desire to force you to our side or restrict you in any way.
"We do choose to defend each other, as means of protecting our people and our vital trade, but that is a mere byproduct of the links we choose to forge. Through trade nations grow and become vibrant and relationships between them bring peace and understanding. This world struggles to rebuild, and to go beyond that and expand through the very stars so that we may persevere our people, our heritages and our hope for a brighter future.
"Join the Trade League, and we do these things together, or do not and pursue them on your own as you choose. We will not stand in your way and would oly ask the same in return."
